Autumn Recipes to Share with You!




I am taking a break from a project that I am working on at the office, plus I'm also taking a brief break because I seem to have caught some of my students' sicknesses that are now just starting to go around campus with the weather changing. Half of my head seems like a big headache and the other half seems very normal. This isn't a complaint, just a justification to take a "balance my life" break! :) :) :) Does that mean that my head is in somewhat of a "la la land"? I dunno, but I do know that I need to take a break and chat with my fellow bloggers.


If you like cinnamon, apple, and/or pumpkin-y flavored recipes, then you will enjoy these. I have not developed any of them, they are not my own to claim; rather I have received them from others and will cite them whenever I can.

Here goes:

Pumpkin Brownies


In an ungreased 9 x 13" pan, combine:
1 yellow cake mix -- saving 1 cup set aside for topping
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg, beaten


Blend these together and PRESS into pan to form the crust.
In a large bowl, combine:
1 small can pumpkin
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup milk
Mix and pour this over the crust.
In a small bowl, combine:
The one cup of cake mix previously set aside
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
This s very gum-my, so break it up and spread this on the top.
Bake at a pre-heated 350 degree oven.

Enjoy on a beautiful fall day with a lovely cup of tea, and some inspirational Scripture for added serenity!

Autumn Colors on Bella Vita Farm

Here I share some photos of the golden colors of autumn currently appearing on the acreage. The "Carolina Blue" sky against the shades of oranges and golds is simply breathtaking to me. This is such a gorgeous time of year and helps remind us of how awesome God is in His creation! I forget about so many troubles when I walk in nature.
Enjoy!
Ciao!

The Dogwood Trees are Starting to Change into Their Autumn Colors


Nature is in its glory right now in the Carolinas. The dogwoods turn a vivid red next to the trees that are still green. This is part of "La Bella Vita" life on our acreage.
